Agios Theodoros Viannos

Agios Theodoros Church in Viannos is an early Byzantine chapel located in the village of Hondros, south of Heraklion. Built on the site of the former village cemetery, it’s surrounded by a peaceful courtyard that enhances its serene ambiance . The interior is adorned with well-preserved 14th‑century frescoes depicting Gospel scenes (like the Nativity and Ascension) as well as mounted and standing saints. A true hidden gem, this historic site offers a quiet, authentic cultural experience away from Crete’s busier tourist route
